Wikipedia Sucks!!!

I've notice in the last few months that Wikipedia is expending a lot of energy internalizing the links on their Website. This became too obvious when they deleted the List_of_news_aggregators Wikipage. The reasons given include...

The page was clearly not external link spam. This is not the first recent instance where I've seen pages get deleted because of external links that I thought were entirely useful. If Wikipedia is gonna start removing outbound links, then I'm gonna stop creating inbound links. Also, I'm going to grab the last good version of that page and host it on this blog.

Update: I found out that once a Wikipedia article is deleted that you can't get at the history. A lot of people, including myself, put a lot of effort into maintaining that list. Now because of the Wikipedia zealots, all the information appears to be lost forever. Thus I changed the title of this blog entry from Wikipedia internalizing to Wikipedia sucks! This is no longer a community project, it's a bureaucratic black-hole. If anybody can recover that content and send it to me via email or post it in my comments, then I'd be greatly appreciative.

im in school right now and am bored
HELLO PEOPLE I COME FROM PLANET EARTH

I finally went back on there and refered to user: pigsonthewing as a demimondane twinkletoes birdwatcher. This was on another user's page and didn't name him specifically but he found out anyway. He and the adminstrators got real unhappy about that.

The boy had gotten upset about something I posted-possibly the picture of a hunter crouching over a dead feral hog and went through several of my articles deleting stuff. He visited the article on the binary explosive target substance tannerite and deleted a series of very good images. Said they werent' relevent.  Since when does a birdwatcher from Birmingham UK know or care anything at all about exploding targets??????????

Your a fucker

 

fuck
fuck

Gentlemen, Wikipedia was a good attempt but their violations are ridiculious. They told me my CD page which listed tracks on the cd's album art was a violation of fair use because it was a discography? Ridiculious! It was not violation of fair use it was pictures of the CD's which I was listing tracks for, they are liars and more than that remind me of what martial law would be like. Wikipedia is no longer useful to anyone.

PS I'll still never understand how showing scanned images of the CD covers was a violation of fair use, never ever, ever... burn Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is a endeavor that started off with the right intent. As they have grown they have gone from allowing the world to post to having a few Hilters and Obamas from the left dictate what should and should be shown. FUCK EM
Wikipedia moderators are a bunch of jobsworths on a power trip. Strike back!  Or just put the images from this article on how Wikipedia sucks on your Wikipedia user page!  We all know Wikipedia sucks; frankly I may even stop using it.  Grrrrr.

The thing that pisses me of about wikipedia, is that almost everything you type into the google search engine it's first on the search results. It pisses me of!

its true about the blogtalkradio too

they pay wikipedia to look the other way to their advertising and to also remove any contradictory information which may make them look bad

Wikipedia sucks, it's true.  Check out my blog for an article ripping into Wikipedia and use the amusing pictures to take revenge on the fools who call themselves moderators!
From what I observed, some of the editors and admins at wikpedia are the biggest fucking assholes I've ever encountered on the internet.
Wikipedia seems like it's run by a bunch 30 somethings living in their parents' basement and bitter 'cause they couldn't get a real publishing job.  As a PR professional, it is a nightmare trying to deal with their emotional wackiness and the fact that they are the top of most google searches.
wikipedia is run by useless dumb cunts and pussified faggot manginas. how can you trust content from stupid cunts who can't even tell the difference between spam and useful information. fuck these stupid cunts. manhood101.com forever!
I was using wikipedia without giving their bias much thought until I read about them scrubbing Obama(the half white) clean. I was banned immediately for vandalizing the page for their fuck buddies, democraticunderground. I really hope we have a civil war in this country. I am ready to fight these assholes to the death.
I guess I need to stop using google too. They must be the same as Wikipedia.
Every time I use my laptop in a new public IP I am going to "vandalize" Wikipedia. Fuck Wikipedia.
anyone here ever removed unsourced content, said its unsourced and couldnt find any sources, only to have the content put back in like 2 days later?
As far as controversial topics goes, there's a new wiki called Bickerpedia that allows and encourages opposing viewpoints.  It's new so it isn't comprehensive, but it's an alternative to the Wiktators.
I am a writer. I have tried to sumit my personal content. Because, who knows me better than I know myself. The criteria to add pictures is so silly it invalidates Wikipedia. If they have such a thing about pictures; if they don't like the damn picture - they could delete it. They say you have to submit 10 edits; and, then get approval (after being logged in) in order to post a picture. Wikepedia sucks...Big time.

the creator of wikipedia must be retarded , hes thinkin : a website made by volonteers can be useful and remplace a real uncyclopedia , wtf is that shit

its impossible to control the content , and every moron can post bullshit

FUCK THAT HALF NIGGER OBAMA AND HIS FULL BLOODED NIGGER SHE-APE
Wikipedia kicks all your asses. Word.
Rise, Decline and Fall of Wikipedia: I am frightened to say what a simple harmless paragraph I added from a scientifically impartial published paper of an internationally known expert, to apparently out-of-any-stream, completely personal point of view, declared on Wikipedia as scientifically ratified fact. They censored it three times on the minute. I never understand why it was so sensitive. It is regarding something inhuman in penal systems of US, Canada, Britain, and Australia. If I say to people, Wikipedia might infect my computer with virus. Wikipedia sucks more and more. May the fascist editors go to hell.
Wikipedia sucks. It's run by retards. Its only purpose it to be edited for amusement.
Wikipedia is entertianment news! They don't want anything accurate as it doesn't drive traffic. WIKIPEDIA SUCKS!!!!
Three cheers! FUCK Wikipedia!
Wikipedia, what pricks!
Let's unite to get that dicksucking site destroyd!

Wikipedia is pure propaganda... Try'd to post some information about European Motorhome Brands... Weerd thing is... All german brand pages i start were good and all Frensh/Italian brand i posted got deleted... (Pages were basicly the same). Also posted some information (pure facts) about a motorhome brand witch witch wasn't any article about. And it got delete'd for 'propaganda'... yes PROPAGANDA! WTH do motorhomes have to do with propaganda :S

 

Fuckers

Fuck Wikipedia Admin.. They erase the page by saying "Lack of reference info from google".. What the fuck.. So, they mean google knew everything..  After i prove it with real life info.. Then, they erased all your history including the reason for erase... (Hey! they noted in their policy.. Not to erase other's history, u can add comment, but not remove the history).. They set the rule, they break the rule. And they over rule u. Fuck them.  Somebody should voice it out "FUCK WIKIPEDIA"
Wikipedia said... "Wikipedia is not a dictionary"... yet... u still can find.. "Wiki:fuck"...

wikipedia=nazipedia run by corporate fascism

censorship, banning user is a form of control

 

anyone had any run-ins with admin. Rklawton?

Wikipedia is falsley advertised as a community site. The truth is unless you are among the small circle of mods or wiki snobs/nazi's anything you post will be deleted.

I posted some corrections and a link (not my site) on one of the investment pages. Keep in mind I have over seven years experience. It was removed, and when I questioned why boom instant ban.

I feel sorry for anyone who uses wikipedia for research, the ammount of errors on that site that are shown as fact are disgraceful.

Anybody ever had a hassle with Majorly? I was there about two years and should have left after the first week. The rules change with no notice aforehand, people kiss ass until they get to be admins then spend all their time on on their lazy asses dissing people in "IRC". The very few who are worth their salt and lend a hand are the first to say fuck it and leave.
What a shame that a more mainstream internet media does not pick up on this injustic. It erks me as well to see Nazipedia take up (at least) 1 of only 10 viable spots on page one of Google.  Wish I could dominate page one like that!  
YEAH FUCK WIKIPEDIA!!111
Wikipedia review runs people off. Wikipedia doesn't do anything about it. Jimbo Wales started it with money he got from his soft porn site and then got caught with his pants down with Rachel Marsdon, a skank with more sense than most. She sold his nasty shirt  http://www.sethf.com/infothought/blog/archives/001317.html.
Fuck Wikipedia communist faggot bastards I tried creating an information page about a band and because it somehow by their standards wasnt deemed important it was deleted...fuck wikipedia
Well it does have problems with bands because they just aren't known. My  band has played dozens of gigs and cut over 30 titles. Are we famous, no. Face it, every garage, local club or back up band can't cut it there. Doesn't mean we won't ever though.
Albert Einstein could come back from the dead and post a few paragraphs about particle physics - and it would be deleted by a bunch of college kids and other losers who have a lot of time on their hands who have finally managed to grasp what they imagine is power - an "admin" on wiki or whatever their power titles are.  Things will change soon enough, professional editing is coming.
Wikipedia is not a big truck, its a series of policies
WIKIEPEDIA SHOULD SUCK MY DICK@!
May the spammers and vandalists bring down Wikipedia.
Wikipedia, the tower of babylon. The difference? Wikipedia is controlled by a bunch of new-age business men who tote themselves as the masters of knowledge. Which is a lie because things that are contriversial are scrubbed.
Wikipedia, everything on there, it is all wrong!! They should delete Wikipedia!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so mad..
Wikipedia is bullshit.

It's run by a ring of self indulging zealots worldwide (who knows how they even got their power to begin with). True, it's the "encyclopedia" (in quotes due to laughability of wikipedia) that "everyone can edit" - but not everyone can contribute to equally. Trust me, if your edits don't satisfy the moderators and their extremely pedantic and overall worthless personas, they will be removed within minutes. Oh, and fuck all of the wiki fanbois who will constantly link you to wiki articles as if they have more value than graffiti on a derelict building. The world's becoming full of idiots and wikipedia has become a hub for these narcissistic fucks they call administrators.
SCREW THE NEW ADVERTISING ON WIKIPEDIA. NO fucking way am I donating when they shove the huge ass logo in my face.
Don't give money to Wikipedia, it's better to know nothing than read the nonsenses that are written there.
Fuck Wikipedia !

wikipedia are a bunch of senator mccain suppoting cunts who want to drive this country into more illegal wars

mind you i hear a company mentioned below called blogtalkradio is a major investor of wikipedia, and the founders of that company are 2 people who were prosecuted for insider trading on the stock market in the early 90s

Yep, it does. Image Nazis, Wikipedia Review Nazis, cruft of all sorts. I would never give them a money because  Wales takes pleasure trips with it among other things
I was just banned for fixing wrong info on the University of Atlanta page.....I qouted info from the department of education! Please help anyone! Go to the University of Atlanta page and see how bad wiki realy is. Someone does not like the school so they have trashed it with a lot bad info....lets do it and show them...
Wikipedia is now run by all these moderators who in my own experience and in the experiences of many others, come across as being a pack of cunts running their own pedantic shit head fiefdoms - while we the peasants get our input, corrections and submissions trashed add-nauseum.

So I now tend to regard Wikipedia, as useful - but not the kind of a place or event I want to associate with nor support.

These scribbling pharisees and and their ganging up on people with their rules and banning them and getting their jollies out of fucking with everyone else and their contributions - if you arseholes want Wikipedia all to your very own selves - you can also pay for it.

I like many, many, many other contributors who have left am saying - "You can all go drown, all by yourselves in your own shit - we have better things to do".

Eat shit arseholes.

The fact is - what started out as a good intention to spread information freely over the net has become a business venture - extremely controlled and forceably ignoring any outside potential to increase visibility of anything outside the realm of creating income for the 35 people at Wiki.

It's a business, and you're best to click around it. Why do 35 people need hundreds of millions of dollars to run a website, greed, and the solid explanation of what's wrong with business and the economy today.

 

Wiki - BURN!

Yeah, Fuck Wkipedia !!!!!!!!!! It IS FULL OF SHIT FOR ASSHOLES NOW. IT DOESN"T EVEN KNOW WHAT CONSTANT MOTION IS AND ONLY SAID IT WAS A SONG WHEN I SEARCH THE DIFINATION UP ON GOOGLE.

 

FUCK THE WIKIPEDIA QUERRS THEY ARE HOMOS THEY ARE GAY!!!
Hail , ya kill wikipedia , ddose it  !
